Investment in technology and human capital continued to pay off for Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO) Plc in 2025, as the aviation services group delivered nearly 40 percent growth in profit, underpinned by stronger operational efficiency, disciplined cost management, and sustained expansion across its business lines.
West Africa’s largest aviation services group recorded robust performance across key indicators, with net profit rising by 39.91 per cent to N17.999 billion in the year ended December 31, 2025, from N12.865 billion in 2024. The unaudited full-year results released on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) showed that NAHCO maintained steady revenue growth while leveraging technology and skills development to contain costs and boost shareholder value.
Total revenue grew by 21.8 per cent to N65.21 billion in 2025, up from N53.54 billion the previous year, while gross profit rose from N33.08 billion to N38.61 billion. Despite the prevailing inflationary pressures, administrative expenses remained largely flat at N13.89 billion, compared with N13.82 billion in 2024, reflecting the impact of increasing digitisation and improved business processes. As a result, operating profit climbed by 25 per cent to N24.84 billion from N19.84 billion.
